There are Family stories that are too Rich to not be Told.

Even if they take a long time to tell...this one I heard at Dave & Buster's.

• One of my brothers was dating a Babe in College
• She left School & returned to Va.
• The Babe calls the Bro & invites him to her home
• The Bro says ok! When will you be here ?, asks the Babe
• The Bro says, sometime next week
• You see, the Bro had no car & was planning on Hitchhiking from D Street to Va
• Thus, he could not pin-point an arrival date.

To the Bros good fortune, he actually manages, after 6 rides and his First Airplane ride, to arrive at the front GATE of the Babes home! Turns out her Dad was the CEO of Marriott Hotels!

• When the bro left D Street he was not thinking "wardrobe"
• He shows up in the driveway, with no apparent means of transportation that got him to the driveway
• In a Feltonville Rec Team shirt that read "McHenry Realty" the sponsor of his team @ the Rec.
• Mr. Marriott sees the shirt & asks, "so your Family is in Real Estate?"
• to which the bro responds..."yea, we keep it Real"...

The next day the Family ventured to the Country Club Pool...

• Matching swim suites & tops were the order of the Day
• My bro had "cut off" jeans!
• At the time he said..."i didn't even notice"...

Now for the Evening Barbecue back at the Estate...

• By late afternoon, the Babe realized the "MESS" the Bro was in
• She really liked him!
• So...she took him to the local Mall for some Barbecue clothes!

As hard as she tried, those clothes did not match those of Ted Kennedy and his kids, nor those of General Westmoreland who was in attendance in Full Regalia! THIS Family was "Connected"!

• The next morning it was time for the Bro to leave
• He bid his Farewells
• and walked down the driveway, thru The Gate
• to the Street

Anyone remember Steve Martin in "The Jerk" when he left Home?

• Took my bro 3 hours to get his first ride...

But, wait til you hear about his venture Home & what he told his Mother when he got there ...to be continued...
